A MAN by the name of Peter Gun
dcrson was shot and killed by girl
- years of age, named Emma irish
korn, at Manhattan, on the lower Co.
lun,bia, last Friday night. 1t seems
that Gunderson wanted to marry the
girl, but she refused and gave as rca-
son that her mother disapprovcd OF
his attentions, whereupon he became
incensed, and with Il companion
named ODDLY assaulted the family
with pistols and knives. One shot
was fired by ODDLY which did ne
harm, and a shot was fired at him by
the girl before she turned the repeating
rifle on Gunderson and ended his life
1t seems clear Case that the girl was
justified in what she did.

The Tacoma Ledger of Sunday
notes that the "Probate Judge [oi
Pierce county, doubtless] has received
his commission from the Secretary CT
the Treasury at Olympia" In this
year of doubt and uncertainty as to Of
fetal tenure, it is gratifying to receive
the assurance that somebody is ac-
tually commissioned" even if the
document is issued by some officer
unknown to the law or the people.
If Olympia has IL Secretary of the

has been created and filled ut some
star-chambcr conclavc of the Board OF
Trade, to take charge of the funds OF
that opulent organization.

AN OLD BROOM.
Loss of the William and Ann and
Crew on Sand Island.

In attempting To- enter the Columbia
river in 1899, relates Hubert Howe
Bancroft in the History Of the North
west" the Hudson Bay Company's
ship from London, UHiam and ann,
was wrecked on Sand Island. Those
OF the crew, who escaped, landed at
Clatsop point and were Immediately
murdered 10y the natives, that the
work OF plumber might not be inter-
rupted. A large portion of the cargo
was then secured by the savages.
| Tidings of the disaster reaching Fort
Vancouver, the Chief Factor, Me
Laughlin, sent messengers demanding
the restoration OF the goods. An old
broom was thereupon sent to the fort
with the dcrisive reply that that was
all the cargo they intended to deliver
up.
There were then but few men at the
fort, and the Clatsops were as strong
us they were bloodthirsty and trcach-
crous, SO that some little time must
necessarily clapse before action could
be taken. Immediately upon the ar
rival of the brigade from the interior
about the middle of June, one hun
dred voyageurs under Connolly were
sent to chastise the Indians. First
the schooner Cadboro, well armed and
manned, was sent down the river and
brought to anchor before the Clatsol
village. No demonstration was mad,
on board; on shore the savagcs wer,
defiant During the night the boat
party approached, keeping themselves
carefully concealed behind the schoon

given. The schooner opened fire OF

Shots were exchanged as the boat.

Why the Crow Is Black.

The Indians of the extreme North
west had some very remarkable legends
about the creation, in which the crow
takes the leading part, bringing order
out of chaos. Perhaps the most curious
was that which accounted for the raven
coat of The crow. One night while
making a tour through his do
minions, he stopped at the house of
Can. nook, a chief. and begged for lodg-
ing and a drink of water. Can-nook
offered him bed, but, on account of
the scarcity of water, refused to give
him anything to drink. When all the
rest were asleep the crow got up to
hunt for the water-butt, but was heard
by Can-nook's wife, who aroused her
husband. He, thinking that the crow
was about to escape, piled logs of gum
wood upon the fire. The crow made
desperate efforts to fly through the hole
in the roof where the smoke escaped,
but Can-nook caused the smoke to be
denser and denser, and when the crow
finally regained the outer air he had a
black plumage. 1t was previously
white.

The Chicago Ledger says Some time
ago we presented to our readers short
sketch Of Captain Mott, who was said
to be the youngest soldier in osr civil
war. Since that time we have received
information that Avery Brown, "The
Drummer Boy of the Cumberland, "
lays claim to being the youngest soldier
and substan tiates his clam with unde-
niable facts.
Avery Brown was born at Delphos,
Allen county. Ohio, on September 2S,
1852. On August Is, 1861, he was
mustered into the United States service
at Camp Chase, Columbus Ohio, and
joined Company c, Thirty-first Ohio
Volunteer Infantry. First Brigade, Sec-
ond Division, Fourteenth Army Corps.
His age therefore, at muster, was eight
years, eleve: months and thirteen days,
which certainly entities him to the dis.
tinction of being the youngest soldier
In the civil war. His claim is being
conceded by all other reputed claim
ants At present Mr. Brown resides
at Elkhart. Ind. He is marble. cutter
by trade and a musician Of no mean a.
bility. He is highly respected as a citi-
zenand az a member of the GrandArmy
post. is generous to fault, and is ever
ready to lend his aid to all worthy OBJ
jects of charity, is a genial, God-fear
ing gentleman, and conducts himself

Serious Charges Preferred by the
woman's Temperance Union.
Senator Colqultt, in the Senate yesterday,
presented a petition from the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Of the District,
accusing the District commissioners Of per-
mitting and protecting the vicious and per-
niclous business Of gambling halls, pooling
rooms, and saloons, deus of prostitution,
immortality, and vice in all sections Of the
city, In violation Of law, as they believe,
and In disregard to the purity, morals, and
rights Of the citizens; that there were now
100 more saloons In the city than ever was
known before; that many OF these dens are
unlicensed, and that several OF them are
run under one license; that a large number
Of houses Of prostitution were permitted TO
sell all kinds Of liquor without license, but
by simply depositing 500 with the com
missioners and other officers Of the District;
that granting Of a liquor license to house
Of ill-fame even was In violation OF law.
The following facts are also alleged (;
That many saloons are violating the Sun
day law by selling liquor on that day; that
liquor licenses are granted to notorious
characters, which the law prohibits; that
liquor licenses are granted within 400 feet
Of the high school, the Peabody, the Wal
ZACH, and other schools in direct violation
OF the law; that house on Pennsylvania
avenue, "used for the gambling schemes
of the Louisiana lottery, is owned by one of
the commissioners, and that the president
of the Liquor Dealers Association was on
the bond Of one of the commissioners
The petitioners further demand thor
ough investigation.
Senator Colquitt spoke OF the noble
Christian women Of the highest character
who constituted tho Womau's Christian
Temperance Union, and whose motive ex-
pressed In the petition was for the purity OF
homes. IL these facts were as stated be
could see no excuse for the Senate II 1t did
not at once redress the grievances.
Senator Tawley suggested that Some In
structions were necessary to accompany
charges so grave.
Senator Colquitt desired TO have 1t re-
ferred to the District committee.
Senator IDgalls stated that he had no
doubt that the facts were true as stated;
that there was no neglect OF the Senate
District committee. lie would state that
he himself had introduced bill on the 4th
of February, 1886, regulating the sale of
iermented liquors; that 1t passed the Senate,
and had been reported TO the House, which
had not shown due diligence bv leaving II
still on the calendar.

tion from ministers Of the gospel indorsing
